Sneak peak on Scammon

I thought I'd write something up about Scammon before I do a sildeshow. This way you all will have more info. about the village I live in.
Scammon Bay (Marayarmiut) is settled at the foothills of the Askinuk Mountains. The people who relocated the village moved to a higher ground because of flooding in the previous place which is about a mile east from here. The population is approximately 500 or more and still growing.
The main places that people are employed all year long are the tribal and city governements, the school, clinic, and the corporation. Seasonal jobs include firefighting, city projects, and commercial salmon fishing. Although many families earn their income through a year round or seasonal job, almost every household depend on harvesting from the land and sea. There are a few who depend on gov't assisstance, but someone from each household goes out hunting and fishing. Although the gas prices are at their highest, 4.78/gal. it doesn't stop them from going out.
The new K-12 school, which is about three years old now has about 300 students that go through the doors every week for 180 days out of the year. The staff includes 16 certified, six of whom are from Scammon and about eight classified classroom aides. The HeadStart has 17-20 children ages 3-5 enrolled (centerbased) and there are many that considered homebased (due to no space in the center, ususally younger ones). It is operated through AVCP, organization based in Bethel.
There are two main stores (all grocery) here and two smaller businesses that sell snacks, rent movies, and provide game equipment (pool tables) for anyone interested (mostly teenagers hangout there). Two churches, catholic and covenant are pastored by people who are from out of town.
The main sport that people are mostly interested here is basketball. Our Highschool boys and girls have been contenders in our district for a long period of time, going to state meets almost every year (girls), but this year they have been moved up to 2A, because of high enrollment numbers in the highschool. We will see how this year goes.
There are just a handful of elders left here in our community. And all of them speak fluent Yup'ik, while the younger people are not. So many times we have to interpret for our own people, which is very sad. The fluent speakers range in the age range of 35-40 on up. Although the school provides a bilingual program, we cannot depend on it alone to keep our language going. It is up to parents and grandparents to teach it to their kids/grandkids.
I hope you get a little idea of Scammon, but if you'd like to know something, just ask, if I know the answer I'll tell you.
